Development Info First Aliens RPG Leaked Footage

[Jason]

Tags: Obsidian Entertainment

The power of the Internet compelled someone to release the first gameplay footage of Obsidian's cancelled <b><a href="http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=33972&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0">Aliens RPG</a></b> on Youtube, which was promptly pulled "due to a copyright claim by SEGA of America". Sega's ninja lawyers proved to have limited reach, however, as the 1 minute 45 second video can still be found <a href="http://www.xfire.com/video/1e1931/" target="blank">here</a> and <a href="http://shogungamer.com/news/footage-obsidians-aliens-rpg" target="blank">here</a>. Stay tuned for the leaked tech demo that should be hitting the web about four years from now.

On one hand it looks horribly unpolished and unfinished but the promise is there. Awesome interior artwork which really fits within the alien universe and those dark hallways look scary as fuck. Too bad they pulled it but it does look like they would have needed to do a hell of a lot of work on it to make it any good.

 

[Joghurt]

And where are the RPG elements ?

In the other 1 minute and 45 seconds, of course.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Is that Mass Effect 2?

I'm really sick of this over-the-shoulder shit. Looks like it might have been a good shooter... heh.

Matt Rorie posted on the Obsidian forums that "this is from an extremely early pre-production build." So there's little I can complain about in terms of graphics, animation, sound, U.I. etc. The concept seems solid, kind of like a squad-based Dead Space, but with a few extra RPG elements. Could have been interesting.

You're not as funny as you think you are.

The shooting mechanics look pretty bad tbh.

I've detected something but I can't quite figure it out I need kingcomrade's assistance

 

[Hoaxmetal]

First time I actually see/read about Aliens RPG. I don't see what the fuss was about it being canceled, looks meh. Alien movie fanboys?

too early of a build to judge that by, there wasn't even any feedback from the gun on the character while shooting. But the point was that it didn't look like an RPG at all.

Nor would Bloodlines had you you sliced 30 seconds of footage from many of its areas. It's pretty much impossible to tell anything about its potential as an RPG, from that.

 

[Good Ol' Drog]

Looks like yet another shitty consoletard FPS/RPG hybrid. Good riddance.

 

[Micmu]

Indeed.

 

[Serus]

Looks like yet another shitty consoletard FPS/RPG hybrid. Good riddance.

Agreed.

 

[Bluebottle]

Agreed.

Yeah, me too.

The dialogue on display looked like it was written by an eight year old, the characters were as cliché ridden as any Bioware ones, and the choices, though there, were obviously just cosmetic.
BAWBAWBAW

On the other hand, this is mildly funny. There's just something about implying/saying/shouting 'butthurt detected' that makes me chuckle.

 

[Konjad]

Looks like Doom 3.

 

[St. Toxic]

Rpg not detected.

 

[Morkar Left]

3rd Person over the shoulder is really bad for a shooter. Even a rpg-shooter. Besides that, it looks good and it´s sad it got canceled.

 

[MapMan]

They always say its pre production alfa sigma build from atleast 10 years ago.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Damn, that looked fun. I would have bought that.

 

[DiverNB]

Yeah what shit RPG, I can see the whole game would have been shit from that 1:45 clip.

 

[Mortmal]

Sounds really like mass effect, but we have not seen much. Looks another shooter survival horror game with as much rpg in it than water in my whisky. i would have buy it still its unpolished and look a bit bland but the the very last seconds of the video show potential.
